Today, I drew the Dolphin from the animal cards. The animal cards are based on Native American traditions. Each animal has a lesson, a medicine and there aren't really any negative connotations unless reversed and then it is just to learn how to change.
The Dolphin was not reversed. So it is very positive outlook for the day, or whenever I get back to this blog. As you can see I have divided my blog into four sections. Tarot, commentary, poem and book review; instead of lumping them all together.
Native Americans were linked to the animal kingdom. They watched each animal and learned from them what they did to survive and be happy. They danced their dances from watching the animals to bring good medicine. And when they killed and ate, they never took more than they needed and they always thanked the animals spirit.
I'm not telling you to become a hunter or to kill. But to watch, listen and learn from your animals and surroundings. Never take or use more than you need. Prepare for the future carefully but lovingly so that Mother Earth, her people, her animals and vegetation can survive as can you.
The dolphin leaps out of ocean with a smile on his /her face ready for love, laughter and adventure. They have their own language and communicate with each other. They are friendly and seem to love people and want to be around them.
Dolphin in your life today means to search and find new and old friends, enjoy time with them. Laugh and cherish each moment with them, your family. Look for new adventures but don't neglect your own pod or family and friends. Yet, don't be afraid to make new friends, have new adventures, learn new exciting things. Look around the world, your own neighborhood. See the good, the happy, the beautiful, the wonder of it all. Stop and smell the roses, but remember somewhere someone has to plant those flowers.
Live for the joy of living. Swim, dance, read, sing and laugh, as the the Dolphin does for the joy of being, of living. Because that is all there there is. We have discovered that money in banks, in stocks, bonds, real estate is not something we can count on. I am not sure life can be counted on except for the moment we are living.
I know. To have food, clothing and shelter, as we were taught in Social Studies was what man(they never said women) needed. But there is more than that and there is how we acquire that food, clothing and shelter.
We can not lie, cheat, steal or kill to obtain it. Most of us don't. Examine how and what you acquire for your needs. What are your needs? What kind of work do you do? Are you happy and can you change jobs if you are not?
Think about Green. Putting out gardens, buying from local farmers or farm stands. Finding a better green source of fuel for home or car. Clothes, do what you can to save the dolphins world and your own. Remember inside you is the happiness and laughter of the Dolphin. Keep at it.
